New MacBook Pro Available for In-Store Pickup

In-store pickup is now available for the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. Certain configurations are available to pickup within hours if you'd like to get your hands on the new laptop. However, certain configurations are not. Of course, stock varies by store and demand is very high. If you're in no hurry to get a new laptop, I would recommend picking a configuration online and wait for the 4-5 weeks shipping for a few reasons. First, by the time it gets into your hands, more apps will support Touch Bar. If you had a new MacBook Pro, less apps would support it and as a result, leave more of an empty hole in your heart. Secondly, more bugs will be fixed by this time. There have been some strange, but minor, security, graphics, and developer bugs that have been reported on a small number of computers and Apple will likely fix it by the time it ships. Finally, 4-5 weeks is likely overshooting it since we already have in-store pickup. I hope this helps anyone considering buying one.
